    It is a straight graded coin, FYI. Really, I think a number of people need to pay a visit to PCGS Photograde, as some of the guesses are so far off. I don’t get offended, but it shows inexperience with the overall grading scale for the series. Most are in the ballpark.

    I did just that, which is why I guessed what I did. Can't wait for your reveal.

    MS-62, because of the weak strike.

    I think it's AU55. I can't really identify between a weak strike and wear in this case.

    Ok, reveal. Guesses all over the place, but several winner-chicken dinner collectors:

    I guess I'll just disagree with PSGS then. I'm not infallible but neither are they. Just saying

    The 3CN series seems to take a bit more experience to grade. Examples from the earlier dates in the series tend to be clashed with the lines in the vertical columns not well defined. That's why I think the OP coin ended up only MS 62.

    I can see the 62. It would have been higher except for the strike softness.
